Fast and Easy Baklava image

What could be better than having an ooey gooey piece of easy to make baklava? Hint: To keep filo from drying out, place a damp towel over remaining filo while you work. When the filo sheets are larger than the pan you are using fold the excess over toward the center of the pan. It will make the dessert a bit thicker.

This baklava was incredibly easy to make and turned out absolutely delicious! The phyllo dough was crispy and flaky, and the filling was perfectly sweet and nutty.
